Data miners who have searched the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PC files have now been many references and content surrounding the Battle Royale mode that could be coming to the game.
There has been many references within the files to “BR” but Activision has not announced any such mode for the game.
The new leak, posted on Reddit, has showcased the points of interest on the map, an image of the overview of the map, a look at the skill set and items in the BR mode, and more.
There’s no indication of when or if this mode will ever release. Rumors have suggested that the company plans to bring a Battle Royale mode to the game in early 2020 as a standalone, free to play mode. The rumors states that Raven Software is leading development of this mode, while Infinity Ward focuses on the main game.

NPD announced their latest data on Thursday, November 14 and showcased that Modern Warfare is the best selling game of October 2019 and is in fact currently the best selling game of 2019 overall in the US.
Due note: NPD does not track Blizzard Battle.net data as Activision Blizzard does not provide that data.
The NPD also released the best selling game across platforms overall in 2019 for the US.
With this new data released, Call of Duty is now the best selling game for the 12th year in a row in the US.
Activsion announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare generated $600 million in the first three days and is selling better than 2018’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Infinity Ward has confirmed that an upcoming patch update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is being worked on that will include many fixes for the progression issues.
Since the game’s launch on October 25, players have been hit with issues where challenges are not being tracked properly and resulting in wasting time when completing challenges as the challenges are not being marked as complete.
There’s also been a lot of issues with the officer progression challenges in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Infinity Ward’s Senior CM has confirmed on Twitter that an upcoming patch will include a “good handful of challenges and officer progression bug” fixes.

Treyarch’s Studio Design Director appears to have gotten himself in a bit of a situation with tweets on skill based matchmaking in Call of Duty.
All of the tweets have since been deleted, but users have captures screenshots of the tweets to showcase.
Vahn quote-RT’d YouTuber Legiqn’s video celebrating 7 years of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 by saying “See, I told you skill based matchmaking wasn’t evil. (I am teasing. Connection >, you pub stomping monsters.)”
Without realizing the current questions about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s matchmaking, Vahn tweeted to Joe Cecot and Ashton Williams that he did not mean to call anyone out and knows that doing cross platform matchmaking is a tricky thing. He said they “slam-dunked” the cross platform system.
He then followed up again saying that “not shots were fired” to Infinity Ward and we can “quote him” that he was not attacking Infinity Ward. He said that IW’s matchmaking is “insanely good for cross platform play.”
He ended this Twitter discussion on SBMM by saying Infinity Ward’s matchmaking is “connection based” and they have “fantastic matchmaking.” He said he’s “taking notes” on how Infinity Ward does it for the future Treyarch projects.
All of the above tweets have since been deleted from Vonderhaar’s profile. Infinity Ward has so far remained silent about the conversation of SBMM being in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. There has been no official confirmation from the studio that SBMM is even in the game, but fans have claimed that their own testing shows SBMM is “ruining” their experience.
Infinity Ward has confirmed on Twitter that they will be nerfing the tanks a bit in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Ground War mode.
Tanks have been the cause of many frustration for players who play Ground War, as some camp in the tanks on ledges and make it unable to even capture objectives or other things.
Tanks have been in Call of Duty in the past, but with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, tanks are prominent in the 3 Ground War maps in the game. The tanks currently have high health and large blast radius which makes it challenging to even go up against those in the Ground War matches.
Infinity Ward’s Joe Cecot has confirmed that they will be nerfing the tanks a bit in an upcoming update to balance out the vehicle in the overall game.
In a follow up tweet, he also reiterated that they need to nerf the 725 a bit more as players are still using it excessively.
We’ll keep you updated when this nerf changes do go live.
Infinity Ward has revealed that they will be making an update to the killfeed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare based on the fan feedback of the overall experience being cluttered with too many messages and notifications about what’s happening in the game.
Right now, the game’s killfeed has notices for if someone ‘avenged you,’ ‘saved you,’ ‘leveled up,’ ‘connected,’ or ‘left the game.’
This has made it frustrating for some snipers who go for collats in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the killfeed gets interrupted because of an unnecessary notifications.
Now, Infinity Ward has confirmed that they will be making updates to the kill feed to ensure that it’s less cluttered overall. They will be removing the ‘avenged you’ and ‘saved you’ text from the kill feed.
This upcoming pass removes prints to the obit such as: ‘Player promoted’, ‘avenged you’, ‘saved you’.
Collats with bullets on the same frame will go back to the classic feed. The penetration icon will show on single kills.
